My Black Dalia

Danger (W.A.)

This one is quite long, sorry. 😅

I slowly walked toward the small cave as the moon finally settled in its cozy spot for the night. I was sulking slightly and mumbling to myself in sadness and slight anger. You see my girlfriend, Wednesday, had gotten my hopes way up. Only for them to fall right back to six feet under. 

**Flashback**

I am sitting at a picnic table alone since I have an open class. I have my earbuds in with my music blaring and am going over the assignment I was given for my history class. This essay is being a pain in the ass. But I slowly feel movement and wind to my left and as I turn I am scared to absolute death. 

"Holy shit!" I shout as I turn to my side and find Wednesday sitting beside me. I placed my hand over my heart and slowly calmed down. As I was finally coming back to my senses I was able to take her in wholly. The dark and gloomy sky perfectly lit her pale but gorgeous skin and the beautiful brown in her eyes. She looked amazing. But I quickly caught myself and tried to hide the pink tint on my cheeks as I realized that this gorgeous masterpiece is my girlfriend. 

"What's up?" I question slowly turning back to my work after giving her a small smile. "I need to ask you something," She states and suddenly my efforts to hide my blush and calm myself are pointless. I have been hoping that this moment would come. The one thing every guy, gal, ghoul, and being has been hoping for at this school. A date to the Rave'n. But me, I don't want any date. I want Wednesday to go with me. 

"Yes?" I ask trying to keep my voice calm but knowing my face is giving away how expecting and hopeful I am that she will ask me what I want. 

"Well, Eugene refused to help me," She starts and I am immediately brought down. There is no way this will lead to the dance. "So I need you to help me. Will you do it?" She asked expectantly.

"Um... I guess." I start and turn back to my work. I underline a mistake I catch and slump down. "When do you need me to help?" I put my head in the palm of my hand and continue writing with the other. 

"Saturday. Meet me out here at 6 pm." She said still in her monotone voice. Don't get me wrong I love her voice and I love her how she is. But when it is moments like this when I am clearly upset and she just ignores or doesn't realize it I get annoyed. 

Wait a minute. Saturday is the Rave'N. She wants me to help her with something probably stupid and murder related instead of taking me to THE dance of our school. I looked over at her and tried my best to mask my hurt and gave her a small nod and smile. 

"Sounds good," I maintained a small smile before turning back and beginning to pack up my stuff. My next class wasn't for 20 minutes but I knew she wouldn't be the first to leave. So I grabbed my bag, slinging it over my shoulder, and slowly stood before grabbing my drink. 

"I'll see you there, Wednesday." I say before turning and leaving. She obviously couldn't tell I was upset so I had to make it really obvious. I usually call her Love or Mi Amor but surely she will get the hint since I used her first name. Right?

**End Flashback**

Yeah, so she never got that hint. So here I am squatting at a tree staring at the weird ominous cave. Wednesday couldn't even be with me. She had to investigate this other place while I stayed here. I was cold, confused, and a little sore from squatting for so long. It has been at least an hour now. I just wanted to go to a dance with my girlfriend but now I am too tired to. I wanna go back to my dorm and lay down and just sleep.
